switch to xanax....duh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some meds work for some people and not for others. You should probably see your doc to try a different medication.

probably because you need to implement lifestyle changes and not just rely on some pill to solve all your physical/mental/emotional problems that all of us humans face daily. pills are what society uses today as the easy way out. its a lot easier to take your pills than it is to sit down and target real human issues. doctors also make lots of money off of you every time they get to push another pill down your throat

I was once on Lexapro which worked for me for a short time.. They decided to change me to another medication and it has worked very well. Tell your dr. This is very common to have to switch medications.

I was on lexapro, and my mother takes it.
Sometimes medication doesn't work for one person, and works for another.

You need to choose to take it consistently, or stop taking it.
DO NOT take it one day, skip a few, take it a few...
That will mess up your seratonin levels SO much.

You should start eating healthy if you are not doing so already. Also you CANNOT drink a DROP of alcohol- it counteracts the effects of the medication.
Start exercizing 20 minutes a day, and eating healthy.
That alone should help with your anxiety.

Talk to your psychiatrist about alternate medication, and also ask about other lifestyle changes you could make to help you without the medication.

Hope that helps.

I have severe anxiety, a friend was taking lexapro and it worked wonders for him so he let me try until I could see a doctor, it didn't work on me either so I'm back at the drawing board to try 10mg of prozac...so far nothing yet.

I went on lexapro about 4 or 5 years ago and got off of it eventually b.c like you I never felt like it was helping. The best stuff I've ever taken and currently am taking are herbal supplements and essential oils. I take valerian root, b vitamin supplements, and nasal cool mist. Bachs rescue remedy drops are also helpful. Valerian root and nasal cool mist are unbelievable when taken alone or together!! Just take two sniffs of nasal cool mist and you INSTANTLY feel calm no joke- Ive never had anything like this before. Valerian root is also more effective than any prescription medication I can think of.
